I took my truck through a deep mud hole and got stuck when i opend my door the mud poured in and all my driveline was sunk in the mud. After my friend pulled me out i went to drive away and realized i could not drive forward or backward. I can still here my gears when i shift but it wont move. After my truck is started i dont need my clutch to shift between gears. My clutch pedal also feels harder then it did before. Can anybody give some advice on this situation please.

91 F-150 302 5-speed standard.

What the blazzes did you do? Its not possible to shift gears with engine running and connected to the wheels if the clutch is good and not move. You say you can hear the gears? Meaning you can feel engaging them, like shifting through the pattern with the engine off. I'm lost buddy, either the clutch is wiped out or perhaps the shift lever isn't doing what its hired to do in the trans. Look underneath and see if the driveshaft is turning as you engage the clutch.

I can feel it shift into the gears and no the drive shaft is not spining when i try to drive it just revs up and wont move so i am thinking the clutch is completly gone or somthing big like that.

There can be some dirt in the clutch or something like that. Your pushing bearing is stuck, i only can't understand why did it stuck in that position. You need to remove the gearbox and take a look anyway. I doubt you could melt the clutch with a single mud pot.

wait... I needed a time-out to think of it more carefully. Looks like the disk is blocked with a bearing anyway. Do you have a slave cylinder with a bearing right upon it? if not, there are a few more possibilities like a clutch fork. Anyway you need to remove a gearbox to figure out.

Sounds like you got mud and gravel up in the bell housing. Remove the rubber boot on left side shine a light up in there and see if something has pressure plate locked up. Sounds like clutch not releasing, from your discription.
